Today the CEE region has created much talk and excitement about its future in becoming leader of the Energy marketplace. The EU is putting efforts to diversify its gas sources and routes to avoid future supply shocks, whilst making sure that it its position as Russia’s main export market or else it could face losing its most important gas supplier to the Asian market.

Turkey and other SEE gas transit countries see an opportunity not only in infrastructure developments, but, potentially, gas wholesale, as well. In contrast, a way for the EU to, not necessarily ensure, but certainly contribute to long-term security of supply, is by reducing its demand for fossil fuels through improving energy efficiency and switching to renewable sources.

In consequence, for traders, and those developing a trading strategy there are profits to be made and new markets in CEE/SEE to exploit and grow, in both fossil fuels and renewable energy. For those driving the green energy agenda, no where is in greater need or provides a greater blank canvas than the emerging markets of CEE region.
